POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. WESTMINSTER. William and Mary Dalton, man and wife, were charged with being disorderly at the door of St. Margaret's Work house, York-street, Westminster, and the woman with doing ten shillings worth of damage. William Robert Morley, the master of the house, said that the defendants were there last night and applied for admission. The man told him that he had been an inmate of their other workhouse at Kensington, and had left there only that morning. Complainant offered him an order for readmission at Kensington, but he refused to take it. There was a great deal of trouble with the poor people, who all wanted to be in the town house in York-street. Mr Ingham—How is that ? Complainant—They like it better, and we really can't have them in York-street. Mr Ingham—Why .do they like it better? Ccmplainant—They are not so isolated 'as at Kensington. They are nearer their acquaintances, and there is neces sarily, from the difference of size of the two houses, a dif ference of classification of the inmates. Mr Ingham—they prefer the society of Yolk-street to that of Kensington. Complainant—l hey want to remain here, and we have orders not to admit thetn. After I had given these people an answer, the woman, who had been drinking, became very violent, and throwing granite stones at the windows, did 10s. worth of damage. I always do the best I can for these poor people, but we were full, and all I could do was to offer them an order for the other house. The woman denied that she had done the amount of damage, sad paid she ought to have been admitted at York street. She was commited for ten days; her husband was dis charged. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CASH-BOX ROBBERY.—EIIen Murray, a young woman, was charged before Mr Knox with stealing a cashbox, con taining a £5 Bank ziote, some gold and silver, and some papers, the property of Mrs Cecile Labroussart, of Little Newpoi t-street. Mrs Labrou,sart said the prisoner called on her a few days ago, when she asked her to take a cup of tea with he-. Shortly after the prisoner left, and on going into the bed room she missed her cashbox, containing a £5 Bank note, £3 in gold, some silver, and some papers, amongst others a receipt for a business which she had recently purchased in Little Newport-street. In answer to Mr Knox, the prosecutrix said she went into the bedroom a minute after the prisoner left. She had placed great confidence in the prisoner, who had formerly been her servant. Mr Matthew Keogh, of 30, Great-street, Andrew-street, said, having been informed by a young man, a sweetheart of the prisoner's, that he had seen her at Bethnal-green with a new straw hat and boots, he afterwards went to Bethnal•green and there saw the prisoner. He asked the prisoner whether she had Madame's papers, and she said she had, but had been robbed of the money. He then took the prison?r to the prosecutrix's in a cab, and the prisoner was then given into custody. Alfred Oliver, 343 A, said, on the charge being read over at the station the prisoner said there were not £9 in the cashbox, but only £7. MI Knox inquired if the cashbox had come into the pos session of the police ? The constable said it was brought to the Vine-street police station by a woman living at Bethnal-greest, where the prisoner had left it. Mr Knox remanded the prisoner. _ _ _ ROBBING A CONTRACTOR.—SamueI Eastop, a labourer in the employ of Mr Docwra, of Balls Pond, Islington, con tractor for gas and water works, was charged before Mr Knox with stealing some lead from a trench at some works being carried on in Oxford-street by Mr Docwra for the Chartered Gas Company. Mr Robert Drummond, foreman to Mr Docwra, met the prisoner about six o'clock in the evening in Soho. square, with some lead in his hand. The prisoner not giving satis factory answers to Mr Drummond's questions, Mr Drum mond gave him into custody. _ The prisoner said that when met by Mr Drummond he was going to the melting pot, but Mr Drummond said that could not be true, as the prisoner was in Sutton-street, 300 yards from the melting pot, which was in Oxford-street. A constable said that when Mr Drummond gave the prisoner in charge, he asked Mr Drummond not to press it. Mr Drummond said that Mr Docwra had been several times robbed of late by men in his employ, and a man was committed from this court for two months a few days ago. The prisoner, who again asserted that he was on the way to the melting pot, which was. Rolla denied by Mr Drummond, was remanded. THAMES, A BRA.CE or BAD Boys.--Edward Dunn and Samuel Walker, each aged 14, were charged with stealing a new horse-eloth, valued 17s. Felice-sergeant Briden, No. 4 K, saw the prisoners last night, shortly before 11 o'clock, come from East Mount street into Raven-row, Whitechapel. Dunn was carrying a bundle under his left arm. Briden asked him what he had got, to which he replied " Washing," and threw down a largo horse-cloth. He then ran away and escaped. He was followed by Walker, who ran into the arms of a police constable, and was secured, Dunn afterwards called on the father of Walker to stale that his son was in custody. Mr Walker had previously heard of his son's arrest, and a description of Dunn, who was given into custody. Dunn said that he picked up the horse cloth in the Hackney-road. It was a new one, and apparently had never been used. In answer to the magistrate, Briden said both prisoners were known thieves. Mr Walker, boot and shoe manufacturer, carrying on business in Spring_garden.place, Stepney, said one of the prisoners was his son, and a very wicked boy, who had given him much trouble, The boy had been 21 days in prison, forsook a good home for bad company, and a week since sold his clothes oft his back. Ile would most willingly pay for the detention of his son in a reformatory school, for he was quite incorrigible, and there was no hopes of his reformation at home. The magistrate remanded the prisoners until Thursday. He would then decide on their punishment. EXPOSING GOODS TOR SALE OUTSIDE SDOPS,—Mary Harrington, 37, taileress, 18, John's-place, Stepney, was charged with stealing a piece of linen measuring 12 yards, and valued at 18s, the property of Mr I3enuett, 10, lime house-causeway. The prosecutor said the piece of linen produced was stolen just outside his doer at 6 o'clock yesterday evening.

She said, " I did not take it,• I had it given to me." He then took her back to Mr. Bennett's shop. Mr. Partridge asked if the linen was hanging outside the draper's shop. Mr. Bennett—Yes, it was, sir. Mr. Partridge—lt is highly improper to expose goods for sale outside shops, and lead people into temptation. Mr. Bennett—Wo can't help it, sir, we cannot get a living unless we do it. Mr. Partridge—You can get a living without this dan gerous practice. It ought to be prevented, The prisoner said she was guilty. She would not have taken the limn if she had been sober. CiHingham, a constable, No. 324 K, mid the prisoner knew what she was about. Mr. Partridge sentenced the prisoner to three months' imprisonment and hard labour.

MURDER OF A SCOTCIL SEAMAN IN PORTUGAL.— By the official logbook of the British vessel Mary and Annie, of Perth, delivered to Mr Whitfield, shipping master at Newcastle-on-Tyne, on the 2d inst., it appears that while the vessel was at Pomaron in May last, an ordi nary seaman, named John Rodger, aged 19, a native of Ayr, had, on the evening of the 28th, at about eight o'clock, gone on shore without leave, and at about half-past nine a cry was heard an board ship from the shore that a man was overboard. A boat was immediately lowered and search made, tut nothing could be seen of the supposed drown ing poison. Early, however, on the morning of th 3 29r.h, the master got information from the authorities that the dead body of a sailor was lying on the beach, and on the master proceeding to it he found that it was the body of the seaman Rodgers, whose hands were tied by a cord, and two severe wounds were observed on the left side of the temple, leaving no doubt whatever that the poor fallow had been cruelly murdered. The Portuguese authorities having heard of the circumstance at once set about making inquiries, and ordered an inquest to be held.

MURDER ON THE HIGH SEAS...—At the South. amp',on Police-court yesterday, before the Mayor, Mr G. Brinton, and other magistrates, a German seaman, named Adolphe Bjornsen, about 35 years old, was charged with wilfully murdering the captain of the barque Gus• time being 9.30 p.m. — of May o f fn , p , tave Adolphe, an English registered vessel, on the high days' sail theyfirst matewe r e seas, on the 21st June last. It appeared from the evi dence of the first mate, Us Peterson, that the ship left when he heard eh a noise proceeding from the captain's cabin. .70 imme diately ai o t n sfi d iinn on ha biosenucatthbfiei cabin — the —O 7 went there, and found the prisoner in the cabin ;kith the captain. As soon as the prisoner saw him, he raised a pistol and fired, but the shot missed him. He then went again on deck, the prisoner knowing him, having still a C ern i a n o lh buc W o ,htehne double-barrelled revolver in his hand. Shortly afterwards the captain came on deck and asked where the second mate was (meaning the prisoner), and whether he had not been secured? Prisoner was standing near at the time, and he turned round and deliberately shot the captain through the head. The captain fell, and after lingering for about half an hour, died. The prisoner in the meantime had betaken himself to the captain's cabio,where he remained for a con siderable time, the crew being unabl e to get at him, as he had obtained possession of all the firearms. He afterwards came on deck heavily armed, and proceeded to lower the lifeboat, into which he got, and at once started from the ship. It was then about half-past two in the morning. Shots wore fired at him, but it was exceedingly dark at the time, and they did not take effect. As soon as the day dawned, all eyes were strained in order to discover some trace of the prisoner, and the boat was discerned in the distance. Tho vessel went immediately in pursuit, and came up with him about ten o'clock, Shots were fired at the prisoner's boat, which was completely riddled; and when it was in a sinking state, the jolly boat belonging to the ship, and manned at the time by six of the crew, was sent to seize the prisoner, who was placed in irons as soon as secured, and conveyed to the vessel, where he remained in confinement until Pernambuco was reached. He was then arraigned before a naval court, where depositions were taken, and the English consul directed his removal to this country. It was stated that no disagreement had taken taken place between the captain and the prisoner. At the close of the first mate's evidence the prisoner was remanded fora week, in order that the register of the %easel might be produced, Mr Mackey, who appeared for the prisoner, having expressed a doubt as to whether it was authorised to carry the English flag. TAFFER, THE MATE OF THE FLOWERY LA N D. — It will be in the recollection of our rradera that, on the conviction of the pirates of the Flowery Land, who were executed at the Old Bailey, an appeal was made on behalf of Wm. Taffer, who was instrumental in bringing them to justice, and who was loft destitute and disabled for a time. Those who subscribed to Tsffer's necessities will be pleased to learn that, through their kindness, he has had the means so to apply himself as to pass a creditable exami nation, and obtain a second mate's certificate. Tatter, we understand, is likely to obtain an appointment to a first class passenger ship about to sail from the port of Lon don. THE GUNPOWDER EXPLOSION AT CHILWORTH. —Yesterday Mr Woods, coroner for the Western division of Surrey, resumed at the Percy Ann% Chilworth, the investigation into the circumstances connected with the death of Charles Mansell and John Farnfield, who were killed by tho explosion at the Chilworth Powder Mills on Friday, the sth inst. The Coroner, in summing up, re marked that the evidence did not show that blame attached to any one. The machinery had been properly manufac tured and put up. The jury, after consulting for about 15 minutes, returned a verdict "That the deceased met with their deaths by an explosion of gunpowder at Mr Sharp's mills, but that the cause of the explosion was unknown." British Archmological Association, IPSWICH, Aug. 12. At half-past eight this morning the party as. sembled at the White Horse, where omnibuses were in readiness to take them to Helmingham, and after a very pleasant drive by roads by the side of which are waving cornfields, they drove up to the fine old hall, the seat of J. Tollemache, Esq., M.P., where they were met by the Rev. G. Cardew, the rector. Helmingham Hall is a beautiful specimen of early Tudor architecture, built round a quadrangle, and surrounded by a moat which is still filled with water, and the drawbridge of which is drawn up every night. Mr. Cardew said there was a tradition that it had been so for eight centuries, but it was certain for 300 years the operation had not been once omitted. The Hall was, the rev. gentleman said, , built in the reign of Henry VIII. by the second Lionel Tollemache. Before his time Helmingham, and the Hili which occupied the piece of the pre sent, were owned by the Joyces, and before them by the De Backinge, and the next previous owners were the Nuns of Flixton, who were the successors of the Nuns of Campsey Ashe. In Domesday Book he found that it belonged to the brother of William the Conqueror, the celebrated Ode, Bishop of Bayonne. In Edward the First's time it was probably the property of is Queen, Eleanor. The present hall was built on the site of the old hall, which was built in the twelfth century by Bartholomew de Creyke, and he had no doubt that there was before that an Anglo Saxon farm at this spot, and from the quan tity of Roman remains he bad found he believed there had been a Roman villa there. He had found Roman remains in every part of the parish; he had no doubt whatever that there was a Roman village on this spot. Oae of the Tollemaches entertained Queen Elizabeth in the year 1561. There was a tradition that the Queen stood as godmother to Tollemache's child, but it was not the case, the child having died before her Majesty arrived, and a sort of ceremony was performed over the body. Passing through the paved inner quadrangle the visitors entered the fine hall of the house, in which is a beautifully carved oak fireplace; indeed, the wood-carving throughout the house is very fine. In the dining-room were ex hibited some leathern "blackjacks " of very for midable dimensions, which it was said are still occasionally used ; the fireplace is a very handsome specimen of carving. The walls of the drawing-room, as are those of the dining room, are hung with family portraits, and there are some tables beautifully inlaid with silver, ivory, &c., and other interesting articles of furniture, amongst them being a curious and beautiful inlaid cabinet of Flemish wotkmanship, In an ante room, between the drawing-room and library, is a glass case, containing a lute, which belonged to Queen El;zabeth, and which she presented to the lady of the owner of the hall, on the occasion of a visit, and also a small but valuable collection of coins. There was also an ancient spin net. The most curious is an Anglo-Saxon menu script of the 9th century. Alfred the Great's trans lation of " °rosins," and a col.'y of the first book printed in England by Caxton, "I.'e Play of Chess.'' In several of the rooms are portraits of Queen Eli zabeth, and in the drawing-room is of of Mary, Queen of William 111. The bedroom veNah was occupied by Queen Elizabeth during her vie: was then visited, and some curious old china baying been inspected, the party left the Hall. The church was next visited, a stop being made at one of the immense oaks with which the park abounds. The part of the park surrounding the church, was a wood belonging to the church. Mr Cardew said the contract for the erection of the tower of the church was in existence—it was be tween the builder and John Talmidge, as the Tolle mache family were then called, and the sum for which it was built was £3O. It was dated 1487, that is, in the reign of Henry VII., but it was not completed till Henry VIII.'s time. The church was built on the old cemetery, and in digging the graves at the present time they dug through the old graves. At the base of the tower is the inscription : "Seandit ad rather virgo puerpera virgule Jesse " "She mounts to Heaven, the virgin mother, the rod of Jesse." The church consists of a nave and chancel, and is benched throughout, and contains some very fine monuments to members of the Tollemsche family. After leaving the church the party proceeded to a field, from the formation of which Mr Cardew said he felt certain that there bad been an ancient tu mulus there. He set two men to work digging, and at once they came upon a large quantity of pottery, which some thought to be Anglo-Saxon, bat the majority of them thought them Romano- British. He also found a spear , head and the jaw. bones of some animals. He had made eleven ex cavations in other parts of the field, and found re mains in each. He found the site of a house in which were Roman remains, a few Saxon and some me. dimval, and the house ceased to exist in about the reign of Henry VII. At another spot a gold coin of Vespasian was picked up by one of his parish ioners. Mr Cardew then led the way to a moat at the bottom of the field. At the rectory Mr Cardew then exhibited the remains he found just above, and with the bodies in the ceme tery, and stated that he believed the date of the cemetery was certainly not so late as the later Norman occupation, but probably of the early Rman occupation, or before that time. He also showed the remains (Roman and mediaeval) found in the Pond Field. The cemetery itself (near the churchyard) was next visited. Hero a great deal of excavation has been going on, and the skeletons exhibited. There was no coffin or any sign of one to be found any where in the cemetery. There is a very large num ber of skeletons lying very close, many of them -erfect—one of a mother with that of her child— aboul five or six yea r s old. One body was bu r i e d i n a muti.:,.lted condition, the head cut off, th e ver tebra: of the .neck on t he bosom, the head sup ported in its place by . 8, /Ent ; this was evident: l Y the b o dy of a man of enormous 2ower, the b ones b e L lg very large. Above the bodieo the usual bl ac k f u nereal pottery, some fragments of querns, and so me bones of animals were found. It was now time to return to Ipswich, - which was reached at a quarter past one o'clock. At two o'clock the omnibuses were again called into requisition to drive to Orwell-park, Nacton, the seat of the President, G. Toinline, Esq., M.P. SUPPOSED SUICIDE IN KENSINGTON.GARDENs • Yesterday Dr. lemliester instituted an inquiry at the Nall Arms, Paddington, relative to the death of Fre derick Seholfied, aged 31, who was found dead and shot through the head in a shrubbery in Kensington -gard ens . The deceased was identified by his brother. Witness heard of his death last Monday evening, and his opinion was that ho committed suicide. He came to that conclusion owing to the discovery of a letter at his lodgings in Short-street, c ity. The coroner read the letter as follows :—" Mother Dear,—These lines are the last my hand will trace, an d when your eye meets them I shall have passed into another existence. It has come to this at last, and now I see ho w mistaken I have been — h ow I have been playiEg a losing game for years, I sea it all now it is too late. Forgive m a if you can for my conduct to you and everybody; there is much that requirsa forgiveness. I have lost all but life, and that I Lave rendered worthless. Wearied, sick, disgusted, and hopeless, I must end it. I have delayed too long already, and go to find rest if I can. Forgive me for all, and forget if you can. God bless you. I know lam wrong,very wrong, but I want to go. God bless you, mother, and forgive me. From your miserable FRED." The witness added that the deceased was not a good son. He had been a cripple from birth. John Bunston, parkkeeper No. 39, de posed to finding the body at 4 o'clock in the morning of Monday last, He heard the report of a pistol on Sunday night after the gates were closed. Ho and other officers could not then discover the body although within 20 yards of the spot where it was found the next morning. Mr J. S. Beale of Paddington, examined the head of de ceased, and found that the hair had been singed. Judg ing from the wound, ho believed that death must have been instantaneous. After some remarks from the coroner, the jury returned a verdict of " Suicide under temporary insanity." QUEENSLAND EMIGRATION.—The ship Fiery Star, 2,500 tons burden, belonging to Messrs. T.

NEW BOWER OPERETTA HOUSE.—The Old Bower Theatre, so long allowed to sink into neglect has found a lessee in Mr. John Walter Kimber, so long the stage-manager of Madame Vestris, during her triumphant career at the Lyceum, who proposes to revive the fortunes of the house by giving a class of entertainment with which the frequenters of the Strand and New Royalty establish ments are familiar. The theatre has undergone great altera tion, and is now elegantly decorated. The company is a strong one, and there is every prospect of the season, com mencing on Saturday, August 13, proving eminently suc cessful. GENESIS OF THE INCOME.TAX.—Twentyatwo years ago the Income Tax was imposed for three years only; at the end of that time its extinction was certain and fixed, like the decrees of fate. Bat 1845 saw it prolonged for three years, and in 1848 its term was postponed again for three years, and then for two years successively it was renewed positively for the last time and for twelve months only, until Mr. Gladstone arose in 1853, and registered a solemn vow that it should die in 1860. It is needless to say that instead of dying it sprang up with greater vigour than ever, and that it is now, perhaps, the part of our syscem which has the greatest promise of permanence. SOMETHING LIK EPAN EGYRIC ON THE LAUREATE, —Who is there who would not, if he could I—be a poet like our Laureate ? To walk, in noble leisure, in a beautiful island, away from the crowd and bustle of men; to gaze at sea, and cliff, and cloud, and landscape, and let the images sink on ; to hear or quietly read of the doings of the world ; to allow thoughts to come and go, and to cherish only the select ; sometimes, when a thought or feeling brimmed over to expression, to hum or round it off in a few musical stanzas, which, when detached from the maker, should float through the air to sympathetic thousands as a new thing of beauty; at other times, when some subject of larger and more continuous interest had been chosen or hid been, suggested, to carry it about from day to day, rumi nating it, evolving it, artfully singing it into thape,wedding to it scores of ideas and fancies that had been lying half forgotten in the mind till the fit occasion should be found for them ; not then to be in any hurry to publish the little metri cal history, but still to retain it as one's own secret possession, going over it again and again with loving fastidiousness, strengthening it here, making it more sweet and exquisite there, imparting to it the last touches cf felicity in sound and phrase, and only then, and still with reluctance, letting it go—who is there that would not, if he could, choose the happiness of a life like this ? And yet, out of all those that are capable of envying such a life, how few are there with whom, if it were rendered possible, it would be anything better than a life of dilettantism or unhonoured and small Epicureanism 1 How great must be Nature's part in a man to fit him for the highest capabilities of such a life; how nobly must the leisure have been earned ; what a confessed gain there must be for the world in the fact of such a leisure —what must be the magnitude, the depth, and the rarity of the thoughts that habitually come and go in the mind so privileged and outposted to meditate and to sing I All this it is that justifies Britain in her peculiar feeling towards our Laureate. Of all that are among us doing work what man, save one or two, can be compared for the preciousness of his work, with him P—The Reader. CESSATION OF EMIGRATION.—The vast tidy of emigration which has for so long a period flowed ceaselessly from our shore, has at length almost subsided. The fine steam vessels, in which the last place was usually filled, now depart all but empty. The large crowds who daily clamoured for passages have disappeared. So great has been the decrease of numbers that the emigration agents have reduced their charges considerably, in the hope of re suscitating their trade. The charge for steerage pas sage has been reduced by the Inman Company from seven guineasto five guineas, and by Messrs. Cummins Brothers to B i z gu i ne as nominally. It is expe cted that before a month. elapses the rate will be as low as £3 10s. per head. A plen tiful harvest at home and the absence of inducement to the other side of the Atlantic appear to have acted powerfully i n changing the destin y of many of our impute e a i n v d e quickly in Reporter. THE LATE MR. ROBSON, THE COMEDIAN.—By a melancholy oversight the Reader of to-day, under date the 13th of August, observes—" We are glad to report that the state of Mr F. Robson's health is still improving, lie is so far recovered as to be able to take carriage exercise daily." Mr Robson—as announced in The Sun of yester day—having on the contrary expired at midnight between Thursday and Friday, the 11th and 12th instant. A MERCHANT'S CLAIM FOR PERSONAL INJURY. —ln the case of " Reddie v. Kenworthy," tried at the Liverpool essizes yesterday before Mr Baron Pigott, Mr R. M. Reddie, a china merchant, claimed compensation from Messrs. Kenworthy and Co. for injuries which he re ceived on the 29th October by the falling upon him of a bale of canvas from ono of defendant's lorries. The plaintiff at the time was passing through a shed occupied by defendants, in order to get to a Glasgow steamer. By the accident he was very severely injured, and is now only able to move about on crutches. Since this occurrence he has been unable to attend to any business except the reading of a letter, whereas ho should have s ailed to China in time for the tea season. Defend ants denied the negli gence, on the ground that the men in charge et the lorry had giv e n sufficient warning to p asser g e:s before each bale was thrown out.

Leamington and Warwickshire Hunt 22 Sixty Children Poisoned at Liverpool.—One Death, (From the Itverpool Mercury o:yesterday,) About one o'clock yesterday the greatest excitement pre vailed in the neighbourhood of Parliament-street and Greenland-street, in consequence of a tumour being preva lent that upwards of sixty children had been poisoned by eating some obnoxious beans. Unfortunately the rumour proved to be too well founded. It appears that between one and two o'clock a little girl named Mary Ann Foster was taken to the Southern Hospital by acme females, The child was in great suffering, and the surgeons of the hospital were informed that she bad been eating some beans which she had gathered from a heap of rubbish that had been thrown from a cart on some vacant land in Greenland-street. Dr. Cameron and Drs. Wollaston and Evans, the resident house surgeons, immediately attended the child; but before they had time to administer the remedies considered necessary for her about 20 other persons arrived with children in their arms, suffering in a similar way. The medical gentlemen seeing that the case was an urgent one, and that the children were evidently suffering from an irritant poison, bruught into requisition the whole resources of the institution, and antidotes were applied to counteract the effects of the dele terious stuff which the children had taken. The operating room at this time presented a heartrending appearance. The poor children seemed to be suffering accutely from pain, and many of them were retching violently, while their mothers or friends were crying most piteously. From one to half-past three o'clock about 40 children were taken to the hospital. One of them, named Michael Russell, six years of age, who resided with his parents in New Bird.. street, died about 10 minutes after he was admitted, although all means were taken tb save him. This is the only ease, up to the present, where a fatal result has occurred, but several of the children are not by any means out of danger. The consequences would no doubt have been much more serious had it not been for the prompt medical assistance that the children obtained. The remedies applied were the stomach pump, emetics, stimulants, &c. h T --3 symptoms which the children exhibited were somewhat peculiar, although they showed that the sufferers had taken some poison of a deadly nature. The children were pale, very sick, and exhausted, and when they attempted to walk they staggered about as if they were drunk, although they had the use of all their senses, the poison which they had taken evidently not pro ducing that stupiiying effect which results from the taking of opium. Their pulsation was at first very low, some of them became feverish and drowsy, and their eyes were bright and protruding from the sockets, and in some of the worst cases the pupil of the eye was contracted. The quantity of the beans which the children stated they had eaten pro duced somewhat different effects. In one case, where a girl had eaten 12, her recovery was easily accomplished, whereas in the case of another child who stated that she had only eaten two beans it was for some time feared that fatal results would follow. The child who died eat, it is stated, only six of the beans. From inquiries made by the police as to how the children go: the beans, it appears that about 11 o'clock in the fore noon t : cart, belonging to some person at present unknown, depositea .a lot of rubbish on some vacant ground belonging to the corpo otion, adjoining the schools connected with G r eat George-str.' et Chapel, in Greenland-street. Some the rubbish, and found a c hildren began to act ,70 amongst quantity of large, oily-loLking beans. The little things, in t h e i r ignorance, ate some 01 the beans, as they had not an unpleasant taste. The news of tie discovery quickly spread among the children in the locahq, whose parents gene rally belonged to the poorest class, a:ld a number ,joined in the search and partook of the beans, with the re sults already stated. Inspectors Moore and Southweil ; hearing of the occurrence ordered the rubbish on the ground to be taken charge of by a number of policemen. Subse quently they caused it, to ba riddled, when upwards of a bushel of the beans was obtained. The master of the St. Barnabas School, which is close by, also took a large quan tity of beans from some of the children attending the school. The bean is known by the name of " Physostygowa vane rosa," or Calabar bean," is said to be used for dyeing or tanning purposes, and is a deadly poison. The rubbish from which it was obtained in so large a quantity by the unfortunate children is said by some to be ship sweepings and ballast taken from a vessel which has just arrived from the West Coast of Africa, while by others it is alleged to be the sweepings of a warehouse floor—but from the nature and appearance of the rubbish the former seems to be the most likely supposition. " CROSSING" A WITCH.—An amusing instance of the belief in witchcraft which still prevails in some of our rural districts occurred recently in the par of Yearn. A woman, wt:11 known in the p arish as "Neil's ish wife"—a reputed witch—underwent the ordeal of cross ing at the hands of a worthy co bbl er whom she had threatened with the evil effects of her craft. Mrs, Neil, returning home one evening , denouncing in no measured terms the Road Trustees for having made the road too narrow by half, determined, in passing, to settle an old score with the cobbler, and summoned him outside to hear his doom. This raised the birse of the man of leather and he immediately appeared, armed with his awl and an old shoo upon which he had been operating, and, seizing the hag by the throat, laid her at his feet in a twinkling. Sloe found it rather inconvenient either to vanish or assume the form of a hare, and the trusty broomstick was not at hand; 50, despise all her struggling and threatening, the cobbler drew the awl twice across her forehead in opposite directions, drawing blood, of course ; and Neil's wife be ca.ne in his eyes as another woman.—lffvergordoit Times.
